Stéphane Paille (2013)

Stéphane Paille (born June 27, 1965 in Scionzier , † June 27, 2017 in Lyon ) was a French football player and coach .

Club career

Paille began his adult career in 1982 with his training club, the first division FC Sochaux , where he became a regular in the second half of the 1983/84 season. For seven years at this club, the elegant and headed center forward was considered the greatest talent of his year in France, who became a youth, junior and senior national player there, won the European junior championship in 1988 and, as a 23-year-old, as a French footballer in the same year of the year was awarded, although his team only played in the second division in the 1987/88 season. Stéphane Paille was also three times among the ten best goalscorers in Division 1 : 1984/85 in sixth, 1988/89 and 1991/92 each in fourth place. He was national champion or cup winner neither with this nor with one of his later clubs, but he was at least in the 1988 cup final, which Sochaux lost to FC Metz after penalty shoot-out.

From 1989, eight more seasons followed at seven different clubs, in which his career no longer often fulfilled what it had previously promised. He left HSC Montpellier , where he met his European Championship colleague and storm partner Éric Cantona , after only four months, but he only stayed with the Girondins Bordeaux during the second half of the season and then moved abroad to FC Porto . His coach Artur Jorge only used Paille regularly at the beginning of the season, so that he returned to France twelve months later, this time for SM Caen , and even for two complete seasons. In 1993 he returned to Bordeaux, with whom he came to his first UEFA Cup appearances until the team failed in the round of 16 at Karlsruher SC . In 1994 he signed with Olympique Lyon , but was loaned to Servette Genève after the last series. From the summer of 1995 he wore the dress of the second division club FC Mulhouse  - but again only for a short time, because in September 1995 he was suspended for two months after he had tested positive for cannabis following the game against Chamois Niort . Mulhouse also terminated his contract prematurely; It was not until the summer of 1996 that he found a new employer with the Scottish club Heart of Midlothian from Edinburgh - his last as a player. In April 1997 he was tested positive for amphetamine during a doping control after the game against Kilmarnock , suspended for four months and fired from the club.

In 2002/03 he took over the first team of the third division club RC Besançon , led them straight away to the second highest division, but rose from this again in the summer of 2004.

Since the start of the 2009/10 season he worked at FC Évian Thonon Gaillard again in the third division; there, however, the chair was put in front of the door in January 2010, although he had led the team to the top of the table. Since 2011, Paille has been one of Real Madrid 's talent scouts on the recommendation of Zinédine Zidane . In January 2014, he also took on a temporary six-month trainer position at the fifth division AS Vénissieux Minguettes from near Lyon .
